New York City, N.Y.

It’s
not just Rockefeller Center and its world-famous Christmas tree that is decked
out in its holiday finest every year. Christmas in New York is timeless and
beautiful. A carriage ride through Central Park is like living in a Currier and
Ives print in the middle of Manhattan. The Rockettes don their Santa outfits
at Radio City Music Hall and the windows at Macy’s are an ever-changing wonderland of
animatronics and set design. For a more high-wattage New York City holiday
experience, head to Dyker Heights in Southern Brooklyn, where neighbors battle
it out every year for the most impressive Christmas displays.
